Ohio farmer records key to avoiding bankruptcy say economist
Ohio State University rural economics expert Flord DeLashmutt argues for yearly farm record keeping in annual account books to guide decisions on livestock and crop choices. He says profits depend on time, labor, and investment allocation, with seasonal price patterns guiding when to sell and how to manage herds. County agents assist farmers in maintaining records and backing them up, enabling better financial planning and avoiding debt.
